6th Feb 2015: shared bottle in De Bierboom (Brugge) during a beer exchange. Black body with a ruby hue, lightly tanned head. Roasted maltiness all the way here: the nose had coffee and dark chocolate notes. The taste followed along in the same way, smooth body feel: slight bitterness in the finish, otherwise a semi-sweet malty Porter with plenty going on in the flavours.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml, from The George & Abbotsford Hotel Bottle Shop, Melrose, Borders. Black with ruby hue and light brown head. Initially good fruity, dark roasted malts, a hint of tannin with a light plum note. The beer continues to develop throughout the glass, becoming richer on the palate if anything. Good depth and a fine beer indeed.
